Copies of What They Left Behind: ready for your reading and listening pleasure
Copies of my new collection from Shoestring Press are waiting to spring out of their boxes this week. What They Left Behind contains poems inspired by travels to Japan and New Zealand alongside closer to home experiences and a ‘mistake’ section offering insights into diagnosis and treatment. Catch some new poems from me and from Jonathan Taylor and Becky Cullen on National Poetry Day this Thursday (4th Oct) at Five Leaves (7 – 8.30pm).
Please let the lovely folk at Five Leaves know if you are coming (tel: 0115 8373097).
Sue Dymoke was a poet, Associate Professor in Education at Nottingham Trent University and a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts.

A posthumous collection, What to do Next, was published by Shoestring Press in 2023, when there was a memorial celebration of her life in University Hall, Nottingham.

Have just received my copy of What They Left Behind and am enjoying exploring. Thus far it is proving a delight: a combination of economy and acuity of expression, technical expertise, heightened observation and composed reflection
